Gowans LETTERS The Journal of Mormon History welcomes comments on articles and book reviews, series about Mormon history topics, additional information on subjects covered in the Journal, and ideas that will help us make future issues more interesting, stimulating, and valuable to readers. We will consider letters that are one or two typewritten, double-spaced pages: occasionally, a longer letter may be important enough to print as a exception to this policy. Because of limited space, we must reserve the right to select letters to be published and to edit them.
